I am 26 weeks pregnant. At around 21 weeks, I started getting a rash that was red and itchy in a circular shape on my stomach and chest. I went to the doctors and found out that I had "puppps". It's the "pregnency rash" that goes away after we give birth. It is because our chemicals are "not normal" due to our little ones and our skin is irritated and having a reaction due to the stretching. Puppps usually develop in the last 3 months and go away after the babies birth. There is a mild steroid that my Dr. gave me that is clearing it up. But make sure to MOISTURIZE because the more you scratch the more stretch marks you will create. SO TRY NOT TO SCRATCH!!!
